Get up to 5% on long jump spikes at Top4Running.com!
Long jump and three jump are related disciplines. The shoes intended for their training and competition are also constructed in a similar way. Usually, manufacturers opt for models that are adapted to both of these competitions.
One of the determinants of the spikes that will help you improve your results on the athletics hill is their weight. It is worth choosing the lightest models. Every extra gram you add slows you down when running, where your job is to accelerate to the highest speed possible.
Spikes for the triple jump and long jump have a special plate in the front part of the sole to which the studs for spikes are attached. Most often there are seven of them. A useful solution on the upper is an additional Velcro fastening. You can hide the laces under it, which will not interfere during the run.
The upper itself should be as flexible as possible. In this case, the shoe better reflects energy during the jump. The grip is also important. The run-up to the long jump and the jump run is relatively short, so there is no room for any uncontrolled movement or slipping. Some jumpers for training use even the classic sprint spikes, which have similar advantages.
